Re: Amtrak changes-LD Trains

Congress decreed that Amtrak cannot have food service losses starting in 2020. By making the dining car sleeper only (and switching to simpler food while doing away with most of the staff) they can bury the losses in the sleeper fares. The forced additional patronage in the regular cafe car likely eliminates the losses there on the long distance trains. The NEC always did fine with food service, and the other corridors have state subsidized food service.

They made the best of a shitty situation.
